In the General tab, you must add the information that allows CC-SG to query the AD server.
Do not add duplicate AD modules. If your users see a message that says "You are not a member of any group" when attempting to login, you may have configured duplicate AD modules. Check the modules you have configured to see if they describe overlapping domain areas.
Type the AD domain you want to query in the Domain field. For example, if the AD domain is installed in the xyz.com domain, type xyz.com in the Domain field. CC-SG and the AD server you want to query must be configured either on the same domain or on different domains that trust each other.
Note: CC-SG will query all known domain controllers for the domain specified.
Type the IP addresses of the Primary and Secondary DNS servers in the Primary DNS Server IP Address and Secondary DNS Server IP Address fields respectively, or select the Use default CC-SG DNS checkbox to use the DNS configured in the Configuration Manager section of CC-SG. See Advanced Administration.
Select the Anonymous Bind checkbox if you want to connect to the AD server without specifying a username and password. If you use this option, ensure that the AD server allows anonymous queries.
Note: By default, Windows 2003 does NOT allow anonymous queries. Windows 2000 servers do allow certain anonymous operation whose query results are based on the permissions of each object.
If you are not using anonymous binding, type the username of the user account you want to use to query the AD server in the "User name" field. The format required depends on your AD version and configuration. Use one of the following formats.
A user named User Name with a login name UserN in the raritan.com domain could be entered as:
cn=UserName,cn=users,dc=Raritan,dc=com
UserName@raritan.com
Raritan/UserName
Note: The user specified must have permission to execute search queries in the AD domain. For example, the user may belong to a group within AD that has Group scope set to Global, and Group type set to Security.
Type the password for the user account you want to use to query the AD server in the Password and Confirm Password fields. Maximum length is 32 characters.
Note: The Test Connection button is enabled after you complete the Advanced, Group and Trust settings. Return to this tab to test the connection to the AD server using the given parameters. You should receive a confirmation of a successful connection. If you do not see a confirmation, review the settings carefully for errors and try again.
